Eusebio Elias

Eusebio Elias R. lives with his wife and young daughter. He would like to build a wall around his house to protect his family and provide his home with more security. Where he lives there isn't much street lighting and he says that with the wall in place he would be able to go to work more comfortably as he often has to work double shifts or night shifts. He couldn't get the money together to build this wall but the loan from our institution will allow him to do this. This would please his family and would make his home safer. In turn, this would mean that he wouldn't worry so much as he could go out to work knowing that his family was safe.

About Housing Loans

Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
